December 23, 2023 @ 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Sisters of Charity Hospital, 2157 Main St, Buffalo, NY 14214, USA
This class is for Mom's delivery partner since you are her main family support in the hospital for comfort in labor. Additionally, this class gives you the chance to ask questions and get good information about what to watch for physically, emotionally, and medically before and after the birth of the baby. This class is less technical than a traditional birthing class and the focus is on practical ways you can support your partner in labor. This does not cover baby care as that is addressed in Babytalk! We will meet in the Marillac room with this class.
